I think your ideas here are sound.  It's the same strategy that the 
Federation of Egalitarian Communities (FEC) has used successfully for 
decades.  For many years Utne Reader was our "flagship" ad (the one that 
was most expensive and garnered the most response).  And of course we 
always advertise in Communities.  Combining our resources in order to do 
effective outreach helps everyone.

Cheers,
